Working closely with Microsoft and their testing labs we have achieved the highest honor . . . “PSQL v10.10 is Certified for Windows Server”.

Certification allows our customers to adopt Windows Server 2008 and known that Pervasive PSQL v10.10 has met the high-level requirements for quality and compatibility.

Here is a post to our support policy and PSQL v10 and Windows Server 2008

We're getting closer with our next release of Pervasive PSQL, version 10.10 besides offering support for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1, we will be offering a 32 and 64-bit editions for Linux Server.

For Linux, our primary supported distributions are Red Hat (version 4 and 5) and Linux (9 and 10) as well as some of the other popular disti’s with a kernel 2.6 or higher. We have also added support for Linux-HA (Heartbeat) for customers requiring high availability.

I’m looking for interested parties that want to test and evaluate our upcoming beta, if you’re interested, drop me a line.

With the announcement that Windows Vista SP1 has been released to manufacturing, the next question was when are people going to be able to download? The Windows Team Vista Blog (http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/) says updates should be arriving soon for those that were involved in the beta testing as for members of MSDN and TechNet Plus subscribers.

Pervasive has been testing Windows Vista SP1 and will formally announce support for both Pervasive PSQL v9.50 (and higher) as well as our newest version Pervasive PSQL Summit v10.

Microsoft has published many articles on Windows Vista SP1 and I encourage users to download “Overview of Windows Vista Service Pack 1” (http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsVista/en/library/417467e7-7845-46d4-85f1-dd471fbc0de91033.mspx?mfr=true) to learn more about this release.
